We’re pretty excited to now be carrying Six Moon

We’re pretty excited to now be carrying Six Moon Designs - ultralight tents, backpacks, and camping gear. @sixmoondesigns

They say it all began with a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail in 1977 and now they’re making ultralight, durable and affordable camping gear based in Oregon.

We like the vibe, the quality, price and ability to take the tents bike-packing. We’re now stocking the Lunar Duo Outfitter tent (57oz, $200) and the Skyscape Scout Solo (40oz, $160). Poles and tarp come separately, but we’ve got those too. You can also use your trekking pole for set-up. 🏕️

Fall is our favorite time to camp, bike, and bike, so let’s get out there!

Antique of the Week presented by the flawless @jes

Antique of the Week presented by the flawless @jessebillypilgrim

"Engineered to take the path of greatest resistance."
-Schwinn Bicycles

Back in June I wrote an Antique of the Week on a 1986 copy of Fat Tire Flyer and I remembered seeing a Schwinn ad that made this outlandish claim. We then had someone donate the exact bicycle from the ad, a really cool old Mountain Bike called the "High Sierra."

At the time this bike was designed around all the hottest new technology. Schwinn boasted that the:

"High Sierra has the strength and poise to make you feel confident on any surface. Unique Tri-Caliber 4130 Chrome-Moly main tubes shrug off shock. Sealed bearing hubs, sealed bottom bracket, and the vise-like grip of Sun Tour XC sport roller cam brakes are just some of the specs that give High Sierra its flawless character traits."

You may read this and say, "what a load of hooey", but frankly I took this bike for a spin after we tuned it up, I kind of agree with them. This bike is a blast to ride and it really does feel ready to handle just about any terrain.

It may not stack up against the high end mountain bikes that are available these days, but you will be able to have as much fun on this bike today as anyone did back in 1986. So if you are looking for a bike with "strength and poise" or you are looking for a bike with "flawless character traits" I might suggest taking this High Sierra for a spin.

Antique of the Week from the fashionable papa pilg

Antique of the Week from the fashionable papa pilgrim @jessebillypilgrim

Look at this cute little bike! This week we have a 1970's Raleigh Mountie which is basically a much smaller version of their traditional Raleigh Sports. According to Raleigh it is "The perfect first 2-wheeler" and that is designed for 5-7 year olds.

Some of my favorite highlights about this bike are the chunky chain guard and the cowboy themed graphics. I appreciate that it is a very understated kids bike compared to some of the modern kids bikes these days that come covered in monster trucks and princess graphics and are named things like "PowerSURGE" and "MissThang."

The only way this bike could get any cuter is if the 5-7 year old that is riding this bike has on a tweed blazer. So if your child would like a tiny bike that is an understated alternative to your average over the top kids bike we have this tuned up classy little Mountie for them to try out.
